It's really only a year contract. It's just that it's gonna take two years to get one season out of him...

Smart player, but flat-footed and slow. Depth and special teams. Can he play Sam?

He's a Nolan guy. That's why he's here. And if Nolan thinks he can get something out of him then fine​ with me. At worst he's depth.

Absolutely. All humor aside, we're eventually gonna get it right with signing a formerly injured player and really score. Hopefully, we're figuring out not to spend too much on'em.... at least at first anyways.

Armstead could out run a good handful of LB's so not really fair but after all these injuries certainly not going make him faster. He was already on the slower part of the scale. Smart player though when healthy in certain situations. As a starter no way.

Spoke to a good friend whos is a huge Chargers fan and he only had good things to say about Te'o. Injuriesis the only knock on him. Apart from that he seems like a solid player and well respected teammate.
